The first in the now legendary "Is Born" series, A Car Is Born follows Mark Evans as he builds a Pilgrim Sumo 5.7 Litre V8 Super-car.

Inspired by the classic 1960's AC Cobra, this kit car is based on a Ford Sierra. Mark follows the whole process from finding the donor vehicle to taking the finished car through the SVA test. From wiring to windows, welding to wheels, Mark covers the whole process with the degree of detail that viewers of these series have come to love.

While Mark is not a trained mechanic (he is actually a qualified vet!) he has been a car enthusiast since he was a teenager. A Car Is Born sets out to prove that enthusiasm and determination are the key to building your very own super-car for less than the price of a family hatch-back.
